Raj Malhotra was always the backdrop, the sturdy foundation others built their stories on. His brown eyes, deep and thoughtful, had witnessed countless moments where he’d been the one to listen, to help, to be there—never the one at the center. He was the guy you’d remember only when you needed a favor, the one standing just out of focus in group photos. People leaned on him but never looked at him long enough to see the dreams he quietly harbored. He was always there, but never truly seen.

He was always the friend, never the lover. He planned others’ dates, wrote their love notes, and gave advice that led to perfect romances. Yet, he never had a date of his own. He was the one behind the camera at weddings, the one who cheered others on, but no one ever saw him. He set his friends up with the perfect partners but never found someone for himself. Love, it seemed, was always a story he helped others write but never one he got to live.

In Udaipur for Manav his best friend’s wedding (manav is marrying riya his long time college girlfrnd) , Raj Malhotra played his usual role—the silent side character. While everyone danced and celebrated, he stayed in the background, organizing and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Love surrounded him, yet it never found him. As usuall he will always be that side character or maybe ...just maybe who knows he gets his own story in udiapur.....
